You can use potions to produce magical effects that can strongly support advancing your goals. You can also sell unneeded potions to raise gold. Poisons are potions that produce damaging magical effects.

The following tables list potions and poisons that you can buy, find, steal, or receive as rewards. When you possess at least one, potions will appear in the "Potions" section of your inventory screen. Some beverages that function more like potions than foods are also placed in this section of your inventory. Most of the items on this page are traded by apothecary merchants.

These potions are available from the standard potion leveled lists; the level at which each first appears is provided in the table. These potions can be found in random loot or purchased from apothecary merchants. Like potions, you can also brew custom poisons from ingredients.

These will appear in your inventory under "Potions". However, merchants categorize these items as Food instead of Potions, so you can trade in them with innkeeper merchants as well as apothecary and general goods merchants.

After completing Beyond Death and leaving the Soul Cairn, if you return to her, Valerica will offer to create one additional potion for every five Soul Husks you bring her. She will no longer offer to do so after returning to her study.

If you give a follower a Potion of Blood, they may consume it in the course of adventuring. This may result in a reduction of your level of bloodlust if you are a vampire, or your acquisition of vampiric powers and effects if you are not. If you are a werewolf when this happens, it may result in your becoming a vampire/werewolf hybrid.

If you consume a Potion of Blood as a werewolf or non-vampire, it can result in you acquiring vampirism as a werewolf without any of the normal warnings that appear on the console after infection with vampirism after three days of drinking it. ?

The solution if this happens is to have Serana bite you and fully convert you into a Vampire Lord then seek a cure from Fallion in Morthal and then visit Aela and ask her to reinfect you with lycanthropy (which she will only do once unless you return to a previous save).
